An article from the Chinese newspaper Apple Daily was scanned by Apple.pro, revealing the measurements taken from an alleged iPhone 5 enclosure.

Apple Daily recorded that the enclosure is 58.7mm wide, 123.83mm long and 7.6mm thick, and is about 18 per cent thinner than the iPhone 4S, at just 7.6mm thick. These dimensions match with previously leaked iPhone 5 drawings published by Mobile Fun.
